Democrats Are Officially Out Of Economic Ideas

No they aren't. They have the best 3 point plan EVER.

1.) Raise taxes on our nations employers. This will get them to invest, expand and hire more.
2.) Mandate that our nations employers will pay higher wages. This too will get them to invest, expand and hire more
3.) Create more rules for employers to follow. This will force them to hire more HR generalists instead of designers, engineers, production workers......

Economics: After spending a year traveling around the country on a "listening tour," Democrats in the House released an economic plan that consists of either recycled bromides or pale imitations of what President Trump is already doing. Meanwhile, the party's base drifts further into socialist extremism.

The Democrats dilemma on the economic policy is obvious. Under President Trump, the economy is surging. Optimism is at record highs. The unemployment rate is at 18-year lows, and for blacks and Hispanics it's at all-time lows. Median household income is at an all-time high. Worse still for Democrats, voters credit Trump for the economy's revival after years of stagnation under President Obama.

So, best thing Democrats can say is that "things could be better." But the party leaders don't have any ideas to make that happen.

Steny Hoyer, the House minority whip, just released an economic plan that offers up ideas in only three areas where Trump has already made strides against fierce Democratic opposition — job skills, entrepreneurs, and infrastructure.
